The Reasons For Making Games:

• Artists, Programmers and Designers want to get across their ideas, thoughts and emotions and display it to a worldwide audience.
• Games can recreate real life situations, for example a classic card game or a flight simulator and people can make their own add ons or extensions, or play online in a community with each other. Games can bring people together.
• Games tell a story, as realistic or unrealistic as the storyteller wants, and it is brought to life by the visuals, the gameplay and the sound of the game.
• By creating games you can learn something, such as how to implement an idea in terms of programming, or how to create a realistic character.
• Games can teach people how to use different skills, such as hand-eye co-ordination, or strategic skills.
